Young Rory McIlroy has a share of the lead as we speak at 3 under par after 9 holes. He's playing very well. Correction! He's just birdied the 10th and is now the leader on 4 under!:)

He is now in the record books as the first person ever to hit 13 under in a US open. Brilliant!

Rory McIlroy achieved the lowest 36-hole total in US Open history - even with a double-bogey six at the final hole of his second round.

The 22-year-old reached halfway at Congressional on the 11-under-par mark of 131 and with a remarkable eight-stroke lead, although closest challenger YE Yang had not even teed off at that point.

After 17 holes McIlroy was in dreamland, the first player ever in the event to reach 13 under and lapping the field 10 shots clear. But then came a hook into the rough and a second that curled into the lake on the left of the demanding 523-yard par-four last.

Signing for a 66 to add to his opening 65 did not stop him still entering the US Open record books, but a par four would have made him the first player in the history of any major championship to break 130 for the first two days.

Can't believe this golf I'm watching....just amazing!!

Rory -16 at the moment, Westwood may make 2nd place and if this happens will regain title world no 1.

we could then have World titles 1,2,and 3 all UK. Westwood, Donald and McIlroy.....whoever could have imagined this

I wore two! Serious. I played cack-handed, (right handed but held the club with my left hand below my right). It seemed to work though as I got to a 5 handicap for a wee while, though I gave up playing 2 years ago and I was off 7 then.
